Perhaps this page should be a section on the main dynamic programming page instead of a separate page. I really don't care about that, but I do think we should have two separate explanations. One should be a reference-oriented discussion, and one should be a tutorial.

I thought that there wasn't much at all on these pages and that we needed a real example. So I wrote one. I am prone to mistakes, however, so I need people to proof-read it. I used the checkerboard example because I think it's a good example of dynamic programming, and it's pretty easy to understand. But please, check my code and change everything that sounds strange and ask if something is unintellgable. Also, my english isn't the best so please check that as well.

And by the way, should I put this on the main page?

There's an algorithms textbook project on wikibooks here and maybe elaborate discussions of dynamic programming should get added there also or instead of here.

Why is this on a subpage? -- Cyrius|✎ 05:23, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It shouldn't be — subpages are against policy. I'd actually vote for a merge with the main page. A few good examples don't hurt, and they can live in their own section. Derrick Coetzee 05:25, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Yeah I agree Gkhan 14:06, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)
